  • Extraction and Removal

    Water extraction involves removing excess water using pumps and vacuums. Structural materials like walls, floors, and carpets are dried using dehumidifiers, air movers, and specialized equipment to prevent moisture-related structural damage and mold growth.

  • Property Assessment

    A thorough property assessment is conducted to evaluate the extent of damage and determine the appropriate restoration measures. This includes identifying affected areas, materials, and the cause of water intrusion.

  • Drying and Dehumidification

    To prevent microbial growth and structural deterioration, affected areas are thoroughly dried using industrial-grade dehumidifiers. Proper air circulation is maintained to promote efficient drying and prevent moisture buildup.

  • Decontamination and Sanitation

    Post-water damage, thorough decontamination and sanitation measures are undertaken to eliminate potential microbial growth and ensure a healthy indoor environment. Antimicrobial treatments and surface cleaning are employed to prevent health hazards.

  • Reconstruction and Repair

    Once the affected areas are dried and decontaminated, repairs may be necessary to restore the property to its pre-damage condition. This includes replacing damaged materials, repairing drywall, and repainting surfaces.
